Why She’s a Babe: Although she elocutes like a robot–albeit a sensual femme-y one–and she often appears expressionless when she’s not smiling, Padma Lakshmi is undeniably hot. In the May issue of Allure Magazine, you’ll find her posing nude on a fuzzy Beni Ouarain rug looking like a glistening lobe of foie gras–in other words, delicious. Maybe not quite as delicious as when she’s got burger dripping all over her in those Carl’s Jr/Hardee’s ads, but pretty damn close.
